If you already feel inside you the urge of self-expression, then
the first thing that you have to do is to study the means of expressing
yourself. You will have to study very carefully the English
language and especially its grammar. Although most people do not
understand the art of good writing, they unconsciously assimilate
more easily ideas which are expressed in correct English. It should
be pointed out also that good English is not necessarily flowery
English, and the simple phrase—which looks so easy to write—is
often the most difficult to construct. I cannot stress too strongly the
desirability of writing your sentences word by word and not phrase
by phrase. Many writers fail to get their ideas across to the public
solely because they use expressions whose meaning has been killed
by repetition.
